Professor de las Carreras' class was honestly one of the most unforgettable and eye-opening I have taken here at UCLA, and her knowledge of culture on a global scale and the globalization of such in terms of cinema made coming to class twice a week such an anticipated experience. Since then, I’ve become an avid fan of film-makers like Takeshi Kitano, Wong Kar-Wai, and Alejandro González Iñárritu, and am always thinking back to what I learned in 106C. She is amazing, the course is amazing, you won't regret a second in class.

Spring 2019 - Let me save you ten weeks of your life. Don't take it. Nope. Don't. This was the most disorganized class I've taken at UCLA and it's unfortunate because this class had the potential to be great. The professor was less than competent to teach, even though he clearly has the knowledge. The TAs run the class because the professor is clueless as to what is happening with the course. You will wish you were anywhere else than in that lecture... The class has 3 papers and a final exam. Readings every week posted on CCLE. Pick a different film class, this one just isn't worth your time.
